Providing a Safe Place for Learning
Specialised Life Skills and Wellbeing Provision for Autistic and Neurodivergent Girls
At Ashley’s House, we provide a specialised term-time Life Skills and Wellbeing Programme for autistic and neurodivergent girls aged 11–18. We offer a safe, nurturing and sensory-friendly environment where each young person can feel understood, supported and able to develop at her own pace.
Our programme focuses on building confidence, independence, emotional regulation and essential life skills through practical, meaningful experiences. While Ashley’s House is not a school and does not deliver academic lessons, our sessions provide opportunities to develop skills in areas such as cooking, communication, self-care, teamwork, social interaction and emotional wellbeing.
Our approach is person-centred and supportive, recognising that every young person has her own strengths, needs and way of engaging with the world. We aim to help each girl feel safe, valued and increasingly confident in herself and her abilities.
At present, families self-fund their sessions, while we continue working towards accepting EHCP-funded placements in the future.
Ashleys House is a place of safety for girls to explore within an environment promoting the following:
- Unity
- Growth
- Celebrate milestones
- Creating strong community, social acceptance, network, environment, friendships
- Inspire parents to feel proud of their children
- For our children to have a future
